Dear Sir -
I received your Letter of February 16-1841 informing me that the claim of Mrs Hannah Gordon had been received and placed on your files, by referring to her Dislocation you will perceive her name is Anne & not Hannah, you state the Moll of the Service in New Hampshire had been withdrawn, and that it would be necessary that New Rules of Procedure be adopted & that such claims would be suspended for the present having recited at least four months, and have not been nor heard of any new Rules of Procedure being adopted, I thought I would send to the Secretaries office in our said State of New Hampshire, and have received the Secretaries Certificate, which I herewith send to your office, hoping & trusting that it will be sufficient with the other papers in your office to place said Anne on the pension roll so that she may receive a little to help make her comfortable in her advanced age, if it is delayed for any considerable time longer the it may never do her much if any good, she is about 78 years old enjoying tolerable health but very infirm & needy
I am Respectfully
your Obed Servant
